      If it's an android tablet use a USB A 2.0 female to micro USB B male cable adapter, plug it into your tablet then plug the other end to the USB cable connected to your camera, when you turn the camera on the tablet should see it and you can access the camera as a mass storage device and copy your pictures across

            Nope!!!

            I picked up this bad boy for a decent price, she needs some TLC as she's been sat in a garage for a year collecting dust sadly. Had some serious cash spent on the engine with a new piston and gearbox but the fairings and wheels need some refurbing. Plus that exhaust is crying out for some paint, shame really as it's a Giannelli pipe. And sadly the MOT has just run out, I know - I know, but she was too good an opportunity too miss, so I snapped her up!!! 🙂

              Yeah nice mate.

              Just look at that spec

              From the factory, USD, ally swing arm and SM. Let alone it being a savage engine.

              Weak points on these are nylon cogs that drive the oil pump and water pump prone to failure.

              Other than that savage engines.

                    @CYBER-NINJA Why would you want to upgrade the oil pump, it and the fly wheel are both made in Japan. Of.course you wouldn't think they would leave important items to chance now would you?

                    Nog that I am of. But the cogs can be bought new from PJME.

                    The DT oil pump and water pump is driven from nylon cogs. It's just the dt puts out considerably less power.

                      @Calum Just asking bud, motorbike engines are new to me so it's all part of the learning curve and gaining knowledge + experience etc.

                          @tdr125greg As said in the other post, the Rotax 123 engine is inferior to the 122 engine, which is what these bikes run.

                          Aprilia only ran the 123 for a short time, the rest of the engines were 122.

                              @Darty What did they put that in?

                              I love the 122/3 because of their availability. They were put into thousands of carts/bikes. They have loads of tuning parts and were raced world wide.

                              Apparently, for the street illegal 125, the Rotax 257 fits the RS125 frame, and presumably the SMX...

                                Looks as though it was fitted to the AF1 Aprilia.

                                One of my favourite aprilias, but frails in spec when you compare it to the later models...

                                  I picked up a set of mx/rx forks for cheap.

                                  I will be including them in project tdr 😉
                                  Running a xt660 320 rotor and 4 pot Brembo caliper if all goes to plan.

                                    @tdr125greg No I have not, you can get a CD-Rom workshop manual off ebay, which may have the instructions on how to do it???

                                      Looks as though it was fitted to the AF1 Aprilia.

                                      One of my favourite aprilias, but frails in spec when you compare it to the later models...

                                      They look very beastly, I'm not a fan of sports bikes, but that sure looks sweet. I bet there very rare now and hard to get hold of for-sure???

                                      SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

                                        @CYBER-NINJA I'd say the TDR is more of a dual sport than it is a sports bike, nice sit upright posistion.

                                        I like to think of the TDR's as the first of the baby sumos without it actually being a supermoto lol this is the inspiration behind my build I'm attempting a remodel kinda thing rather than a rebuild ;).

                                          @tdr125greg No I have not, you can get a CD-Rom workshop manual off ebay, which may have the instructions on how to do it???
